Greetings people,

My name is Jay and I have 15 years experience working as a Financial Analyst in Business and Government in North America and Europe.

I have been teaching at university level since 2007 as a lecturer, tutor and learning skills support academic. I am able to work well with students at risk, gifted high-achieving students as well as other students.

I am passionate about education and teaching. I wish for all students to succeed with their studies, career and life-course. I bring a customer-service, students-first approach to my teaching. I also have a strong work ethic, especially when it comes to being reliable (i.e. doing as I promise) and punctuality (i.e. returning work on time and attending meetings on time).

I am able to assist with: 

*Preparing assignments 
*Writing academic appeals 
*Applying for scholarships 
*Proofreading written work 
*Mentoring and personal support 
*Writing your dissertation/proposal 
*Research and sourcing library materials 
*Learning skills and academic referencing 
*Career planning, CV and job applications 
*Creating and interpreting a Turnitin © report. I have upload access to Turnitin. HOBBIES My university research interests examine the benefits of the one tutor-one student model using online learning and face-to-face tuition. I have written papers that examine best practices in this area and am happy to share these with others. 

I celebrate human diversity and enjoy with with people of all genders, ages, religions, races, genders, orientations and locations. 

I have traveled widely in North America, Europe and Asia. 

I prefer to listen to my clients and learn from them and their needs, rather than talk about myself.

Thank you for reading my profile. I wish you the best with your studies.

Description: Do you, or your student, need help with written or spoken communication? Or would it help to have a concept communicated in a different way? I'm a Lifelong Learner. I'd like to help you, or your student, develop a love of learning, as well! My specific areas of expertise involve communication and language arts. However, I've also tutored history and math, as well. A bit of background may be in order. I graduated with honors from Idaho Falls High School and took home several awards in the Debate program. Then I graduated from the University of Idaho in Telecommunications and a minor in Music. Now I am enrolled in the Advanced Writing program with AWAI (American Writers & Artists, Inc.). Since graduating from the UofI, I've been involved in radio, concerts, seminars, and advertising.      << View Less

Description: GradePower's programs approaches learning in a fundamentally different way that goes beyond tutoring. While we are building strong academic skills, we also help students develop new ways of thinking, concentrating, listening, remembering, and believing in themselves. Our programs work with children ages 3-6 in our Little Readers program and go all the way up to college readiness and study programs.      << View Less

Description: Our tutoring services are structured as follows:

• Homework Help –Our students are not just given the answers to their homework questions – we show them how to work out the problems and re-teach the concepts if necessary. Our teaching style is personalized, friendly but firm.
• Enrichment – Students who are already proficient in the material for their current grade level are given advanced lessons that could be at least a grade level ahead. The academic enrichment component of the program ensures that learning is always taking place.
• Remedial – Students who have difficulty learning their concepts in the classroom for whatever reason get the intervention they need to catch up on their lessons.

TEST PREP for Grades K-12, College and Graduate School To prepare our students for these all-important tests, we teach them the content of the tests to mastery and also the most effective test-taking strategies that will maximize their scores.

Description: I have taught English as a foreign language for a number of years, starting with teaching conversational English at private language schools and academic English at tertiary institutions in Bangkok., Thailand. I have taught English in Auckland, New Zealand at private language schools, and then in Tokyo, Japan for a British English school there, teaching all levels and areas of interest. I have an interest in coaching English for presentational, academic and business purposes; in Japan, helping students to make video presentations of their work and lifestyle activities. 
I am currently offering online English lessons. Although many of you might be new to taking lessons online, I can assure you that the tools available these days make it a very realistic experience, just like being face to face. Learning online also saves your time and money for travelling to lessons, and allows you to book lessons at more affordable prices.
The website I use for my lessons online is Convoconnect. On convoconnect students can use this site to view my full biography, view my live schedule, book lessons (the site will take care of all of the payments to me on your behalf), view teacher videos before booking a lesson, and you will be able to view my feedback from other students. Its a good user experience for teachers and students.
